Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528 Wicked Revelations
*Avery*

The knock on the door echoed through the room, a soft but unmistakable sound that sent ripples of anticipation through the space. I glanced at my father, and he nodded ever so slightly – a silent understanding passing between us.

With a determined exhale, I crossed the room. My fingers curled around the doorknob, and as the door creaked open, there she stood – Eden.

I swiftly gestured to her, my hand extending to guide her inside. She slipped past the threshold urgently. I locked the door behind her with a soft thud, the world outside

now sealed away. Turning around, I faced her, my eyes searching hers.

"Did you make sure that no one would see you coming here?" I asked urgently. "No, Luna Avery, I told the soldiers on the border that I was going to take some important ingredients only found in this village," Eden replied in her voice, low but resolute.

"Good," I said in a stern tone.

"Do you know what happened this morning, Luna Avery? The Alpha king took that slut's side. He is falling for the charm of that bitch again," Eden's words dripped with venom, her fists clenched at her sides. The fury in her voice resonated with the resentment that had fueled our determination to challenge the status quo.

"So, without delaying anymore, we have to execute our plan tonight," I declared. "Tonight?!" Eden's voice held a flicker of disbelief, her eyes widening in response to the sudden acceleration of our timeline.

"Yes, all the arrangements have been made. Just stick to the plan and be careful," I ordered. "Tonight, when everyone from Moonglow pack is caught up in the yellow moon festival – an event that graces them once a year – we will execute our plan. This night will be forever marked by the rogue's hand claiming Selena's life."

A faint, vindictive smirk played on my lips, mirroring the ferocity in Eden's expression. She nodded in agreement, her lips pressing together in a tight line.

"She deserves it for stealing your mate," Eden spat, her voice laden with a mixture of disgust and determination.

"You may leave now. Otherwise, someone might suspect," I instructed.

"Luna," she acknowledged, her head bowing respectfully before she turned to depart.

After Eden left, I pushed the door close, and the door clicked shut behind me, the distinct sound of the lock echoing the finality of my actions. My gaze shifted, and I found myself facing the imposing figure of my father.

I was in my father's pack – his territory, a small village nestled within the sprawling dominion of Zander's Kingdom in the north.

"I have already warned you, Hailley," my father's voice carried a weight of disappointment, like a long-suffering mentor unable to reach an obstinate student. "That woman, Selena, is going to be a significant problem for you, but you are incredibly stubborn and refuse to listen to me."

I swallowed hard, the knot in my stomach tightening as I braced myself for the reprimand that was to follow. His words were a bitter truth I had tried to evade.

A surge of determination flickered within me, and I squared my shoulders, meeting my father's gaze with a mixture of confidence and defiance.

"Don't worry, Father. Everything is under control. I will handle her this time," I asserted, my voice laced with a veneer of self-assuredness that I hoped to embody. He let out a deep, exasperated sigh, the lines on his face deepening as he regarded me with a mix of concern and reproach.

"You said that last time as well," his words were sharp, a blade slicing through my façade of confidence. "But your worthless rogues failed to kill her in the forest, and they were subsequently killed. Their bodies, torn into pieces, were all that remained – a testament to your failure. Moreover, your attempt to shift blame for trying to burn down the kitchen and the pack house onto Selena by setting fire to her clothes but it failed when she was rescued... this only added to your failure."

My fists clenched at my sides as his words struck home, each one a blow to my pride and determination. I glanced away, my frustration etched across my features, struggling to maintain my composure.

"I know, Father," I admitted through gritted teeth, my voice strained. "You don't have to keep reminding me of my failures every time we speak."

He held my gaze with an unwavering intensity, his eyes like shards of ice, piercing through any pretense.

"I have to, Hailley," his tone remained stern, unyielding. "Because it seems you refuse to learn from your mistakes. I told you to seduce Zander, to bear his pup as soon as possible – a means to secure your claim to the throne. Yet, here we are," he concluded, his lip curling with a mixture of disdain and frustration.

"Dad, I have to maintain the facade of being good in his eyes," I began, my voice tinged with frustration and desperation.

The truth lay bare, an unspoken secret I had kept hidden beneath the surface. Every time I attempted to seduce Zander, he relentlessly turned me down, and the memory of this still hurts my pride.
